THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per year, $2; six months, $1.25. Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter. CALIFORNIA'S NEEDS IN DEVELOPMENT Evolution of the Foreign Trade Finance Corporation—the new $100,000,000 organization which is being formed under the Edge act to extend proper foreign credits for American export trade—is watched with especial interest here in California, particularly by the energetic, alert Bureau of Economics. There is cogent reason why California should interest itself in this financing project. For there is golden opportunities to develop industries in this Pacific West, and the functioning of this corporation would facilitate the marketing of the products of these industries in foreign lands. It should be realized that California and the Pacific West cannot hope for tremendous commercial development unless the commodities produced here furnish the shipping, in a large measure. Use of these Pacific ports merely for trans-shipping will not bring the commercial development which California craves. There must be stupendous industrial development here at home. There are various forms of possible industrial development, among the most important being the establishment of great hydroelectric enterprises. Henry M. Robinson, president of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, in urging adequate financing of power companies says that if proper encouragement is given the development of electric light and power, "the industry will spring forward in the next decade faster than in the last decade; the result questionably will be a lowering of cost of living and the conservation of natural resources which cannot fail to benefit the whole population. It is to be hoped that the banks of the state will meet, in broad, public-spirited way, the necessary need of financial aid for the basic industries upon which the manufacturing industries and trade development of this state and section depend. This would redound to the benefit of the banks, as well as the public. HERIOC SACRIFICE BY A CHINESE DOCTOR Not alone from this blessed land of the West come the frequent recitals of noble self-sacrifice. From China announcement is made of extreme heroism and self-abnegation in service of others. Dr. Yu Shu Fen, a young physician, died recently while combating the plague in Shantung. In his farewell message, Dr. Shu Fen said that in his enthusiasm for plague prevention he "overstepped the bounds of caution and in my constant contact with plague patients I accidentally contracted the disease; I am dying for the people; I make no complaint." This is heroism of the type that stirs men's souls; it is the courage that has no artificial stimulus, but which proceeds from goodness of the heart. That there are such noble souls—many of them—to be found among all peoples, sweetens one's estimate of humanity and offsets the bitterness and distrust that the selfish and the mean engender. There are men and women in every land who give life, heroically and uncompromisingly, for the benefit and upfit of their fellow-beings. They are the sweet savior of humanity. There is none too much of unselfishness. The world needs more of it—more of the spirit of fair play, of higher regard for principle and lesser regard for mere cordid gain, graspingly gotten. PACIFIC NAVAL BASES NOT SUFFICIENT The Pacific naval defenses of the United States are startlingly handicapped, the very best naval authorities in the land agree. There is a lack of these bases that is lamentable. Particularly in the western Pacific is this dearth of bases pronounced. Paul Harbor, in the Hawaiian group of islands, the most advanced fortified base in the Pacific, is said to be merely "rudimentary" in its facilities. In truth, it is said that with America's inadequacy of bases, it is totally unprepared to wage a successful war in the western Pacific. This is startling enough. It does not settle and ahead with our efforts. Stanton said that one street, and that there is a row on the street, once and another row.

Phone 210 The Village Gossip Culminating a 20-year fight for title. Phil A. Stanton of Seal Beach is completing arrangements to put on the market a block of lots between Anaheim Landing and Sunset Beach. About 20 years ago, when Stanton was employed by the Hellman ranch interests, he discovered that the strip of sand between Anaheim Bay and the ocean was government land. On the supposition that the strip belonged to the Hellman ranch, people had come and gone and had never dreamed of filing on the property. No sooner had Stanton and his associates filed their claims than the first of their many legal fights began. Somebody filled mineral claims. It was declared that the areas of black sand produced gold. When the case came up for trial, government assayers went upon the ground, took samples of the black sand, and tested it. There was no gold. Squatters appeared, and further litigation was necessary. "We have had to stand up and fight for our title time and again," said Stanton. "The most recent action that tied up our plans for subdivision was that in which there was a suit for a 60 foot street thru the tract. We were willing to deed a United States are startlingly hand-capped, the very best naval authorities in the land agree. There is a lack of these bases that is lamentable. Particularly in the western Pacific is this dearth of bases pronounced. Paul Harbor, in the Hawaiian group of islands, the most advanced fortified base in the Pacific, is said to be merely "rudimentary" in its facilities. In truth, it is said that with America's inadequacy of bases, it is totally unprepared to wage a successful war in the western Pacific. This is startling enough. It denotes a condition of weakness that should not be permitted to continue. It would be consummate folly to go on building giant warships for the defense of the Pacific and yet neglect to provide bases from which they could operate and to which they could go for shelter and repairs.

Los Angeles St. THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA 40-foot street That action has just been settled and we are now going ahead with our sub-division plans." Stanton said there would be but one street, and that will be paved. There is a row of lots on each side of the street, one row facing the bay and the other row facing the ocean. "This is the beginning of development down the beach to Sunset Beach," said Stanton. "We are going to have 100 lots on the market within the next ten days. We started in selling lots over a year ago, and had deposits on some when the action over the street was brought and we had to return the deposits." Santa Ana police are seeking a short-change artist who secured a ten dollar bill from a cafeteria by means of an old trick. After dining, the stranger walked up to the cashier and paid his bill. Then he took an envelope from his pocket and flashed it in front of the cashier. He asked her if she could oblige him by giving him a ten dollar bill for some silver. He said he wanted to mail the bill to his wife in Dallas, Tex., holding the envelope before the cashier so that she might see the address. The cashier, who was in need of some small change, handed the stranger a "ten spot" and he put it in the envelope and sealed it. At the same time he proceeded to lay ten dollars in silver on the counter. Then he suddenly discovered that he did not have ten dollars in change. He told the cashier to keep the envelope in which he had sealed the ten dollar bill until he could outside and get enough cash from a friend to make up the ten dollars. The stranger then departed and the cashier is still waiting for him to return. As a matter of fact there was no ten dollar bill in the envelope which he left with the cashier, although it appeared to be the same envelope he had displayed at the time of the transaction. There was nothing in the envelope left with the cashier but a blank piece of paper. Because a monkey became peeved or jealous, Charles Chathain, a Santa Ana newsboy, is nursing tenderness his right hand, gashed adpost to the bone by the sharp teeth of the monkey. The Santa Ana boy was watching motor vehicles in traffic. MISS FORSYTHE HOSTESS Miss Mildred Forsythe was the honored at a birthday party at her home on Burton-ave on Friday evening.

Levee, prominent attorney, member of the Los Angeles athletic club and widely known throughout the city was shot and killed by his wife from whom he had been estranged, in New Orleans today.

Because a monkey became peeved or jealous, Charles Chatlain, a Santa Ana newsboy, is nursing tenderly his right hand, gasped admiest to the bone by the sharp teeth of the monkey. The Santa Ana boy was watching monkeys driving toy automobiles in a concession at Long Beach. He had his eyes fixed upon one monkey and was standing close beside another that was being fed by a group of sight-scars. The monkey beside Charles may have become jealous because Charles paid no attention to him; he may have been given something to eat that he did not like. Suddenly he became enraged. He leaped from his wagon, landed upon Charles, and buried his teeth deep in the boy's hand. The injured hand was dressed by a physician and is healing nicely. County Horticultural Commissioner A. L. Morris today issued a warning to ranchers and persons looking after small truck gardens to watch out for the small Coral snake.
